Description

Arcadia by the Sea literally means paradise by the sea.. The location is truly outstanding, with absolutely stunning ocean views.

Arcadia by the Sea is located 48km south of Perth and just 50 meters from the beautiful Shoalwater Bay beach.

Arcadia by the Sea caters for a maximum of 2 people at a cost of $140 per night, or $150 per night on Fridays and Saturdays.

Arcadia by the Sea has been custom designed as holiday accommodation. This is a completely self contained 1st floor apartment, separated from the rest of the house, by a sound proof double brick wall. There is private parking on your own driveway - no street parking required. Access is gained by walking up a short & very wide set of external stairs.

On most days you will be able to see sea lions on the islands and quite regularly you will see dolphins in the bay. Pelicans fly overhead every day on their way to and from Lake Richmond.

Is there a pool? Yes, it's called the Indian Ocean and it's just 50 meters away.

Fancy a paddle in the Bay??? If you would like a kayak/canoe adventure in the calm waters of Shoalwater Bay then you might like to use the 2 single kayaks or the double canoe that are available for your use. You need to carry these just 50 meters to the beach. Paddles, life jackets and water proof bags are provided. Conditions do apply You will be asked to agree to all conditions on an indemnity release form and sign that form. Essentially you must take full responsibility for your use of the kayaks or the canoe.

The aerial photo provided shows just how pretty Shoalwater is. Where is the apartment? Just look for the red dot.
